Pic of the Deathstar unit......


Meanwhile the wraiths and d-lord held up the deathwing knights for 2 turns of combat.


His deathwing assault did nearly scuppered me as belial+command squad, 5 deathwing knights and 2 squads of tactical deathwing all deep striked in on turn 2 behind my lines. 1 squad dies to warrior mass-fire before 4 squads of my warriors vanished in a deathwing coloured assault blur.

Pick your top six badasses from any codexes you like and put them into a unit. An overlord and five royal court lords, all with MSS, WS, SW, MSS and a res orb will kill them. Those phase shifters will keep the court alive long enough for MSS and war scythes to kill everything else.

That sounds like a challenge someone should test.

Holy moly!
How exactly did that go?

Easy. The squad had 4 lots of MSS so they fired off and luckily 4 different models were selected - effectively taking them out of each combat.

The Ravenwing combat was a bit weird as you are allocating wounds on a unit of not just mixed toughness but also bikes and vehciles (speeders). In the end we agreed that i woudl have to deciede eactly which hits woudl go against the speeder and which didn't - whcih turned out ok as the warscythes get 2D6 vs armour and weer hitting at S8 anyway.

Here's the full list he brought (i'm not 100% sure on add-ons, powers etc):
